The most unique part of our visit was Gatorland. First, I have to call out how amazing the staff there was… they clearly love their jobs, love entertaining, and do not take themselves too seriously. It was great to get to observe and touch all the fabulous predators. Carter loved ziplining over the gators so much that we ended up going back to try their entire zipline course.

Alpha or Beta? The Choice is Yours, Android Users.

Earlier this year, we asked our Android users to join an exciting new open beta program to help us squash bugs. We’ve since developed something stronger. Something that opens your mind in ways you’ve never thought possible. A way to opt into the mystery, the wonder, the beauty that is the latest Tumblr app: alpha.

What’s different? While the open beta app is updated twice a month, the closed alpha app updates with the latest build every night. It will also set your mind free. Both are great things to help you find bugs, which help us make Tumblr even better.

Who can join? A very limited number of Android users will be accepted for membership on a first-come, first-serve basis. Testers should use Tumblr daily and be diligent in alerting us when they find a bug. That’s what this whole thing is for, after all.

How does that work? When you see a bug, shake your phone with gleeful rage. Rage-shaking opens an email. Describe the bug and hit send.
